Editorial Review for Berkeley Cafe – by Brad Hunter
In Short
One of Raleigh's oldest live music venues, Berkeley Cafe still rocks downtown; music devotees show up to enjoy blues and other great sounds. Appropriately smoky and dark, the music room features a commanding stage, high ceilings and a good sound system. A small bar with tables and booths in front is just right for taking a break from the music, having a conversation and ordering another round of drinks.

I have traveled the US extensively and visited clubs all over. There are landfills that dont have as much trash as this place. The entertainment sucked, and it a dive in the true sense of the word. Any one who likes this place carries all their taste in the mouth and it is bad.
Pros: good drinks
Cons: everything

So my friends and I went to Metal Massacre I here and it SUCKED. There was ONE good band, which would have made it all worth it - but the service there was awful. AWFUL. I had been here during high school to watch my friends play, at it was a lot of fun, but the bartenders checked ID EVERY TIME even though I had a wristband and the bouncers were just out looking to catch people. Needless to say, we left early...and we won't be back again. If you want a place that's fun and laidback, then this is not it.
Pros: hot bartender??
Cons: location is tough to find, bouncers are overzealous
